OK here is some advice and a bit about me. I have been practicing IV Therapy for 21 years of my 27 year career. I work on an IV/PICC team for 30 hrs per week and at least 10 per week for a home infusion company.
I will suggest some references,but you will find that most IV books only will have a chapter specifically related to home infusion,but they all still wonderful resources b/c the standard of care is the essentially the same. The one main difference,in a lot of cases,is that the patient or caregiver will be doing the monitoring and reporting any complications to the HCWs.
In home infusion you will be doing a lot of teaching as,most therapies can safely be given by the patients and caregivers. These are some of the therapies you will see.......TPN and Lipids (usually in a 3 to 1), all classes of antibiotics,IVIG,PICC and CVC care,Port care and monthly access,hydration fluids,SQ instruct on a variety of drugs,Remicade,Chemotherapy and other biologics. You also need to be good at peripheral IV cannulation.
I would purchase the IV book by Sharon Weinstein 2008 IV therapy Clinical practices and procedures. I would definately,not be without Intravenous Medications By Betty Gahart. This will list all current IV medications and by far is the best Intravenous medication book around.
You may also want to review some basic teaching principles as this is a large part of home infusion. Documentation is also very important in Home Infusion and the Weinstein book will help you with that. Also take the time to read the companies policies and procedures. Hope this is a good start for you and good for you for wanting to prepare. Any other questions feel free to ask
